Attachment 104, Part E: 1988 MSAs, CMSAs, and Associated PMSAs

SOURCE: 1988 MSA, CMSA, PMSA and NECMA codes were taken from Metropolitan Statistical Areas, 1988, published by the Statistical Policy Office, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget in June 1988. These are included in the 1988-96 NLSY79 geocode data files.

Note: New England County Metropolitan Areas (NECMA) listed at the end of this section.Note: "NE" beside the MSA, CMSA or PMSA denotes a New England geographic area. An "NE" CMSA includes the component PMSAs. An "NE" PMSA includes only that PMSA. The geocode data file provides only a NECMA code for these MSAs.

New England County Metropolitan Areas (NECMAs), 1988

Note: MSAs in New England are defined based on cities and towns, not counties. NECMA codes are the county version of the New England areas and are defined on the basis of the New England CMSAs (not PMSAs). They do not replace the MSAs. MSA and NECMA definition are not identical in county composition. See Statistical Abstract of the United States, 1988, published by the Bureau of the Census, for further discussion of the definition of metropolitan statistical areas.
